> The tipped minimum wage is so small that it is basically zero

That depends on the state. For example, all west coast states have the same minimum wage regardless of tipped or non-tipped. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage

> In the state of Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, same minimum wage are applied for both tipped and non-tipped employees. Tips collected by employees in these states will not offset employer's obligation to pay the wage, and tips is the additional income beyond the wage paid by employer.

Good suggestion and question. Another challenge for bring-your-own-ONT is making a clean fiber connection without expensive tools, but I would imagine that's also solvable.

Why not make it configurable by advanced users though?

FWIW I'm also on CenturyLink FTTH and just a week or two ago noticed latency spikes and packet loss which magically went away after 15 minutes. Good to read this analysis for future reference. I really wish end users had more control over ONT boxes similar to how we can use own modems for cable/DSL. A DOCSIS-like provisioning by ISP should be possible.

Off topic, but CenturyLink Fiber still uses PPPoE and 6rd instead of native dual stack in many markets and are unwilling to upgrade to more modern configurations.

EDIT: I do not use Tor at all.

It does now: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commits/packa...

Won't the server need to accept a TCP connection to receive the cert? If so, the port will show as open. I suppose with UDP it is possible.

It's a bit ironic that the author works for VMWare, since VMWare Workstation is completely unusable[0] with Linux 5.8 with no ETA to fix in sight.

I read in the Russian news[1] that the removed companies were run by Gusev's namesakes. The name is common and the removed companies were registered in cities far away from Moscow.

Correct, but the main point of their talk and research was focused on Batch GCD processing of hundreds of millions of keys, with ROCA analysis done in addition.

Another group did a talk on this at DEF CON 26 last year: https://research.kudelskisecurity.com/2018/08/16/breaking-an...

They analyzed over 340 million keys from the web.

> As part of the presentation given at DEF CON 26, one of the outputs was Kudelski Security’s Keylookup application. On this site, you can submit your own public keys and have them tested against our dataset. We will let you know if your key is vulnerable to Batch GCD and ROCA attacks. If your key is in our database, we will be able to give you an answer immediately, if it is not, you may have to wait a bit until the tests complete.

500,000,000*160bits/(8bits/byte)=10,000,000,000 bytes=9,536MB=9.313GB

There are also protocol buffers libraries for and in C code, such as the protobuf-c library: https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c

Since his name came up in the article, it is worth reading more about the ideas that W. Edwards Deming[1] lectured on.

At least the alarm still works.

I don't think this is true anymore. According to this article, Dubai now has a sewage system covering the entire city: http://p4papyrus.blogspot.ca/2011/02/sewage-system-now-cover...

Minor correction: git shortlog -sn shows the number of commits (not lines) by each author, sorted in descending order.

Actually, I think that it wasn't even all that technical. They took their time to explain what shards are, etc, so their intended audience was still power users, at best. Not saying it's good or bad, just saying how I felt when I read the post.

I have a similar feeling toward my car's problems. I think it's the general issue of reproducibility that can cause such a feeling. You know the problem is there, but you're not sure of the cause, nor can you reproduce it reliably. Immediately, the issue becomes top priority because you don't know what to expect.

Ironically, the servers are being "upgraded" again, as we speak.

What a terrible explanation..

I would spell coordination (as in project coordination) without a dash.

I really liked the comment the author made about patents and the amount of opportunity in Russia today. One could literally grab something that has been proven to work well in the U.S. and do it there, making a lot of money in the process. Now that is the theory and I'm aware of increased risk of running business in Russia. However, it is definitely worth thinking about.
